Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in both the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). Syria insists that the Golan Heights are part of the governorate of al Qunaytirah, and United Nations Resolution 242, unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council on 22 November 1967 takes the position that Israel should withdraw from the territory, along with all other territories that it occupied during the Six Day War.
